A blaze in one of Blackpool's major attractions was averted by the sprinkler system, a fire service spokesman said. The fire broke out at a florist's shop in the Coral Island leisure complex on the Promenade in the early hours. Lancashire's chief fire officer Peter Holland said: "Fires often develop rapidly and immense damage can result if left unchecked, not least due to the spread of fire to property and premises some distance away from the original seat of the blaze." Officials are still determining the cause of the emergency.
Time and Attendance North West's market leading smart card time and attendance systems include fire roll call software which protects the safety of your staff. The software will automatically generate a report in the event of a fire or other emergency. Unlike most other systems, this function is executed directly from the clocking stations and does not rely on the controlling PC or computer infrastructure. In the event of an emergency, employees simply log themselves on and off site using either a smart card or key fob.
